[O.B.Left]

O.B. You wrote a Masterpiece. Lynn may have some thoughts
but for the most part I would certainly think that he is
proud of what you wrote. I would hope that the post could
be placed, on the website, where it does not get lost.
Many years from now, I hope a very long time, Lynn will be
gone along with the rest of us. Your post should be here
for generations to come as a gift.

Your post presents a lot for me to think about and will
provide guidance for many hours on the range to come.
So much to put in the incubator.

Thanks Donn. High praise for a guy on a coffee jag who is surrounded by snow and ice and just dying to hit some balls.

Its so hard to write about this stuff, motion. Maybe thats why its out of vogue? The message stays the same too. No need for a new magazine every month if you know what I mean. Yoda would have some notes for me for sure I bet. I am a mere student. He is the master. Think he got the McDonald book from Paul Bertholy if memory serves.

Here are some related quotes :

Ben Hogan from his fifth lesson published in Sports Illustrated Magazine , notice how he says "movements".






Re Bobby Jones on Ernest Jones and motion vs parts. (Cant remember where I clipped this from). BTW his endorsement of Ernest Jones was not popular within the ranks of the PGA at the time. This, you could argue, was a bold statement on his part.




"The Golf Swing, the Ernest Jones Method" 1920. Ernest Jones on dissecting cats .




And since this whole thread started with Hinge Action on the backswing and then turned to into a discussion including the lagging takeaway procedure , the swing back: During the lagging takeaway the clubface does tend to look at the ball longer. Ie this swinging procedure which is extremely compatible with Horizontal hinging and displays such on the through swing does look a little angled ish on the backswing ..... dont worry about this . Its ok.
